Description:
AMERICAN MASTERS Pete Seeger: The Power of Song airs February 27 on PBS (check local listings). For more information, visit http://www.pbs.org/americanmasters
Pete Seeger helped introduce America to its own musical heritage, devoting his life to using the power of sing as a force for social change. Standing strong for deeply-held beliefs, Seeger went from the top of the pop charts to the top of the blacklist and was banned from American commercial television for more than 17 years. This determined singer/songwriter made his voice heard and encouraged the people of the world to sing out along with him. Now almost 90, Seeger continues to invigorate and inspire the musicians who help tell his story- including Joan Baez, Bruce Springsteen, Natalie Maines, Tom Paxton, Arlo Guthrie, and others.
In this online-only premiere, Pete Seeger performs a song called "Quite Early Morning."
AMERICAN MASTERS is produced for PBS by Thirteen/WNET New York.

 | Pete Seeger-Waist Deep In The Big Muddy
Tags: Big, Deep, In, Muddy, Pete, Seeger, The, Waist
Description:
From THE BEST OF THE SMOTHERS BROTHERS DVD. Clean audio and video...better than here. Email me at sfuv@hotmail.com to learn more.
It was back in nineteen forty-two,
I was a member of a good platoon.
We were on maneuvers in-a Loozianna,
One night by the light of the moon.
The captain told us to ford a river,
That's how it all begun.
We were -- knee deep in the Big Muddy,
But the big fool said to push on.
The Sergeant said, "Sir, are you sure,
This is the best way back to the base?"
"Sergeant, go on! I forded this river
'Bout a mile above this place.
It'll be a little soggy but just keep slogging.
We'll soon be on dry ground."
We were -- waist deep in the Big Muddy
And the big fool said to push on.
The Sergeant said, "Sir, with all this equipment
No man will be able to swim."
"Sergeant, don't be a Nervous Nellie,"
The Captain said to him.
"All we need is a little determination;
Men, follow me, I'll lead on."
We were -- neck deep in the Big Muddy
And the big fool said to push on.
All at once, the moon clouded over,
We heard a gurgling cry.
A few seconds later, the captain's helmet
Was all that floated by.
The Sergeant said, "Turn around men!
I'm in charge from now on."
And we just made it out of the Big Muddy
With the captain dead and gone.
We stripped and dived and found his body
Stuck in the old quicksand.
I guess he didn't know that the water was deeper
Than the place he'd once before been.
Another stream had joined the Big Muddy
'Bout a half mile from where we'd gone.
We were lucky to escape from the Big Muddy
When the big fool said to push on.
Well, I'm not going to point any moral;
I'll leave that for yourself
Maybe you're still walking, you're still talking
You'd like to keep your health.
But every time I read the papers
That old feeling comes on;
We're -- waist deep in the Big Muddy
And the big fool says to push on.
Waist deep in the Big Muddy
And the big fool says to push on.
Waist deep in the Big Muddy
And the big fool says to push on.
Waist deep! Neck deep! Soon even a
Tall man'll be over his head, we're
Waist deep in the Big Muddy!
And the big fool says to push on!

 | Buffy Sainte-Marie & Pete Seeger - Cindy
Tags: bow, buffy, folk, marie, mouth, pete, sainte, seeger
Description:
Well, Cindy is a little gal
She lives away down south
She's so sweet the honeybees
Swarm around her mouth
Chorus:
Get along home, Cindy Cindy
Get along home, Cindy Cindy
Get along home, Cindy Cindy
I'll marry you some day
Well, I went to see my Cindy
She was standing in the door
Her shoes and stockings in her hands
Her clothes all over the floor
(Chorus)
My Cindy is a pretty girl
My Cindy is a peach
She throws her arms around my neck
And hangs on like a leech
(Chorus)
I wish I were an apple
A-hangin on the tree
An' every time that Cindy passed
She'd take a bite o' me
(Chorus)
She told me that she loved me
She called me Sugarplum
She drew her arms around me
I thought my time had come
(Chorus)
Wish I had a needle and thread
Wish that I could sew
I'd sew that gal to my coat tails
And down the road we'd go
(Chorus)
She loved me on the mountainside
She loved me on the hill
And every time she said "I won't"
Her echo said "I will!"
(Chorus)
She took me to the parlor
She cooled me with her fan
She said I was the prettiest thing
In the shape of mortal man
(Chorus)
She loves me in the summertime
She loves me in the fall
If she don't love me all the time
I want no love at all
(Chorus)
If I had a pretty gal
I'd put her on a shelf
Ev'ry time she smiled at me
I'd jump right up myself
(Chorus)

LYRICS:
Little boxes on the hillside
Little boxes made of ticky tacky
Little boxes, little boxes
Little boxes all the same
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same
And the people in the houses all went to the university
Where they all were put in boxes, little boxes all the same
And there's doctors and there's lawyers and business executives
And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same
And they all play on the golf course and drink their martini dry
And they all have pretty children and the children go to school
And the children go to summer camp and then to the university
Where they all got put in boxes, and they all came out the same
And the boys go into business and marry and raise a family
In boxes, little boxes, little boxes all the same
There's a green one, and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same
